Trump is an economic illiterate. But Democrats in general have been hesitant to simply say this. About time.

None of the cyclists killed last week were on streets with bike lanes. One of the victims was killed when a driver ran her over from behind while she was stopped at a red light. Advocating against bike infrastructure is advocating for more cyclist deaths on our roads.
Tweet from NYC Common Sense sharing the NYT article about 3 Cyclists Dying:

This shows why more bike lanes are not the answer. Holding those who fail to follow the law - either e-bike riders, traditional riders, or drivers - accountable and ensuring that the streets are safe for everyone. 

That is the answer.

Spending $4B to keep the status quo is a shame. We'll keep the congestion, air pollution, noise & divided communities. A project like the $5.5B IBX gets us housing, business, better commutes & cleaner air. We should invest in solutions that benefit NYers paying for these projects.

We’re watching AI roll out as if we have no choice, as if it’s inevitable. But why should we be spectators in this enormously dangerous game pushed by Big Tech? Why should we have to accept the hugely negative, potentially life-threatening consequences? We don't — and we shouldn't.

Can’t tell you how glad I am to see a rational approach from @mayor.nyc.gov on e-bikes — targeting illegal sellers *and* building out the #bikenyc network — rather than “OMG e-bikes are evil” coming from @speakermenin.bsky.social et al. hellgatenyc.com/city-council... @transalt.org

Trump shattered ethics norms. Will voters trust Democrats to fix them?
Democrats are making the case that now is the time to tackle anti-corruption reforms — to serve as a check on Donald Trump and to overhaul a system voters say is co-opted against their interests.

If you have a second home in New York City worth more than $5M, check your mailbox when you're back in the five boroughs — because you've got mail.
Today, we sent notification letters to property owners, letting them know that our new pied-à-terre tax is coming soon.
The best city in the world deserves the best parks, libraries, and schools in the world. That's only possible when we all pay our fair share.

Netanyahu doesn’t represent my values, or the values of most American Jews. He is a war criminal and he deserves to be tried for it. The way for me to be safe as a Diaspora Jew is to not be associated with Netanyahu and his crimes. Our self-appointed community leaders seem to want the opposite.

It’s embarrassing that the rabbi of Central Synagogue - one of the most prominent Reform rabbis in the US - is portraying Mamdani’s accurate description of Netanyahu as a war criminal as a sign of antisemitism. This is part of why young people take antisemitism less seriously than they should.
